How boring I am - I used my AX2s & Velo F1000 for 20 years before finally retiring them in pristine & fully operational condition a few months ago. They are now languishing in my garage & feeling quite lonely I'm sure...

Funny you mentioned Paradigms. I came here because I'd heard a set of their Signature S8's with the matching centre and surrounds in a high end shop. Was blown away by how much better they sounded than what I owned. Then I was even more blown away when I asked what the system would cost!

I ended up poking around the used market but was still surprised at the typical used asking price. Then I came here. Too bad I arrived just a few months before the new LFRs were announced! Anyway the M80's were excellent though it is hard to tell if they were fully as good as the S8's. Now with the LFRs and an ADA1500 it may be even better! I need to revisit that shop for another listen...

And the forums here are truly a great bonus!

Happy weekend everyone!!

There was a guy who had both the Signature towers and M80s. They were not in the same league, but certainly cut from the same cloth (flat frequency response, neutral sound). He loved his Signatures, but thought the M80 were an outstanding value for the $.
